constitution-creation
SkillSecurityThis skill lets your AI create governing principles for a project, so all work follows one shared set of rules. Once added, your AI can put together guidelines covering coding, testing, user experience, performance, and security. The result is a clear reference your project can rely on for how things should be built and checked.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
After adding the skill, ask your AI to create governing principles for your project. Review what it produces and adjust the rules to fit how your team works.
Then ask your AI: use the constitution-creation skill
What your AI can do with it
- Create development guidelines for the team
- Set code quality standards
- Write testing policies
- Define UX requirements
- Establish performance benchmarks
- Set security constraints
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/spec-kit/skills/constitution-creation/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
- Formalizing existing project standards into a constitution
- Updating governance principles for an evolving project
- Before writing specifications for a new feature area
Distinction from Specification
- Constitution: Defines project-wide governance (HOW the project operates)
- Specification: Defines feature-level requirements (WHAT to build)
Process
- Gather context - Assess project type, audience, compliance needs, existing standards
- Define dev guidelines - Coding standards, branching strategy, review process
- Set code quality standards - Linting, formatting, complexity limits, naming conventions
- Establish testing policies - Coverage thresholds, test types, CI requirements
- Specify UX requirements - Accessibility, responsiveness, performance budgets
- Define performance benchmarks - Load times, throughput, memory limits
- Establish security constraints - Auth, data handling, vulnerability policies
- Document architecture principles - Modularity, dependencies, extensibility
- Human review - Approve constitution before proceeding
